it sounds good in theory, then you do it, play the same two songs for 3 days, and say "alright, now what"
there are actually 3 dave songs... not that thats many but hey... 150%

I think there are more. Isnt the baritone tuning, the same tuning as raised B. He has many songs w the baritone guitar. Isnt raised B tuning, the same as baritone tuning, but on an acoustic. If this is true, then there are about 6-10 songs in this tuning, elec or acoustic. Or maybe im wrong............anyone????

Well, to answer my previous post ---Yeah, i found out that baritone tuning is the same as raised b tuning. So any song played w his baritone can be played on acoustic in raised B tuning. songs like somedevil, space between, i did it, what you are, the song after Oh on SD, busted stuff, plus YKN, StayorLeave, Oh. I think there are a few more.

yeah, i forgot that they are an octave apart. But same notes, strings. Try playing a baritone song, on an acoustic in raised b. Should have the right sound. Peace

I find that I like dave's raised B songs played in standard tuning a lot better, for one reason I can sing better in E than in B, so I just play the songs on a standard guitar the way I would on a Raised B guitar. I particularly like Oh in E much better.

just my two cents

I see what you are saying but I just think the capo takes so much away, listen to how you play it and then listen to it on Some Devil. I gurantee they aren't the same, Dave's sounds a lot better cause the notes ring so much longer.

how does dave keep from breaking a string when you raise the tunning so high?

Busted Stuff is not in a raised B/baritone guitar. Dave uses the open E tuning for it.
